Last week Baltic Training
Services in partnership
with A Tech Training
launched
their
first
Traineeship Programme,
which is one of the first of
its kind nationally.
The programme has been
devised to help to bridge the
gap between school and work
and aims to assist young
people not in work become
work ready and able to
progress onto an appropriate
apprenticeship programme.
The aim of the Traineeship
programme is to help those
young people who have
little work experience and
may require some support
to improve their maths and
English skills to enable
them to progress onto an
apprenticeship programme.
A-Tech Training and Baltic
Training Services programme
has been developed to
progress individual’s personal
and social development,
improving their attitude and
behaviours to ensure that the
young people and businesses
benefit from work ready
young people prepared to
learn and progress.

programme the eight trainees

From September 2013, all
KS4 music students will
receive at least one lesson a
week in the new Mac suite,
where they will be able to use
software such as Sibelius and
GarageBand to produce their
GCSE composition work.
The recent addition of
midi keyboards gives the
opportunity for students of
all ages to easily compose,
perform and record their own
pieces.
Current year 8 students Ben
Greenow and Lewis Foulger
have found it particularly
enjoyable using the new
equipment: “The midi keyboards are great; they’re really
easy to use, and they give you
much more control over what
you are doing in GarageBand.
We like having wider range of

Bio: Tony has fronted many bands and has untertaken world tours with legendary musicians including:
60’s super group ‘The Animals’, ‘Oliver/Dawson’s Saxon’, ‘The Tygers of Pang Tang’, ‘Strangeways’
and American rock band ‘Liddle/Rush and Thrall’. He has also been produced by Kevin Elson, record

Reviews: “The room was full, and the sound was deafening with a mixed bag of people in, being
entertained with the likes of Toto, Rainbow, The Cult, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Judas Priest, Led Zep,
Stereophonics, Whitesnake, AC/DC and Boston - my favourite ‘More Than a Feeling’. Jon on bass/
keyboards seems to be having a good time in the now settled line up; Ade looking ice cool out front
with the shades on; Tony being his cheeky self cracking on to the crowd. Tony and co always deliver
the goods and he has a cracking sense of humour. They sound even better now their set list has
been re-vamped.”
One of the most talked about bands on the circuit.
Saturday 7th September - “Uncle Gilbert”
RIFFS Online Review: “An excellent night with some classic rock covers done by mainstay of our

right - this band have just earned themselves a promotion into the premiere league”

St. Mary’s popular priest, Fr.
Michael Campion’s last few
days at Aycliffe were sad, but
joyous as everyone gave him a
fond farewell.
There was a special social
evening at Shildon Civic Hall
where congregations from both
towns met to say goodbye. The
final Services of Mass were
equally well attended to wish
Fr. Michael well in his new
position at Jesmond.
The Rev. Graham Morgan,
Methodist Minister was among
the guests at Shildon Civic

to give a “Stand up Comedian”

Newton Aycliffe’s Poor
Dear Editor,
In last week’s edition of the
Newton News, I read two
articles which taken together
signal grave concern to me.
The first article celebrated the
inauguration of a recruitment
Venita . . .
with more than 30 years experience
of hairdressing and owning salons

comfort of your own home you

agency. The second article
celebrated the first birthday of
the local food bank.
I am outraged that both
recruitment agencies and food
banks have become normalised
within our culture. Our local
industries are saturated by
recruitment agencies in stiff
competition with each other.
The effect of these parasite
employment proxies sees the
minimum wage become the
average wage.
Moreover,
restricted
by
the minimum wage, some
recruitment agencies resort to
underhanded tricks to make
them more competitive, such
as requiring workers to work
part of their contract unpaid
under the guise of work based
training.
In these local employment
conditions it is of no surprise
that, facing rising living costs,
hard working people resort to
food banks.
Our constituency M.P Phil
Wilson has taken great
trouble to ensure that he is the
face of the coming Hitachi
contracts. We have not had
any assurances from him that,
these coming skilled industrial
jobs will be offered to workers
as permanent contracts with
decent pay and conditions,

It would be an abhorrent
disgrace if our M.P, a member
of a Democratic Socialist Party
should permit these contracts
to be farmed out to recruitment
agencies offering temporary
contracts for minimum pay.
The working class cannot
assume the support of Phil
Wilson; he has let us down
badly in the past. He fell silent
when the Tory government
voted to overturn the legal
ruling that they had unlawfully
withdrawn benefits from people
who refused to work for free.
He remained silent as did most
of his Party when calls came to
abolish the bedroom tax.
We have just returned three
Labour County Councillors
to the wastrel inefficiency
of County Hall, where
absenteeism is double the rate
of any other industry. None of
our representatives have made
it their priority to abolish or
block obscene privilege such
as the 12k clothing allowance,
paid for by the taxes of low
paid workers. Meanwhile, our
representatives offer platitudes
and sympathy to their hard
pressed constituents, all the
while watching their living
standards
erode,
without
offering any radical solutions
to this problem.
In my view, our local,
county and national political
representatives are a milieu
of sycophants, joining the
established order of politics.
They lack the courage
to call for reforms to the
structure of politics which
has proved highly ineffectual
at representing the needs of
ordinary working people.
Bevan would turn in his grave
if he saw what had become of
Newton Aycliffe’s aspirations
and ideals; and all on the watch
of the supposedly democratic
socialist Labour party.

SMELLS!
Dear Sir,
I have lived in Aycliffe for 36
years and although we have
seen improvements in all
aspects of the town over the
last few years I must stress
the smells we are currently
enduring must be putting
off any visitors and new
businesses investing in the
area.
Living in Woodham I have
had to endure a foul smell
many summer evenings
from the nearby fields. Now,
working on the Business Park
I am having to endure the
repulsive odours from the
new Biogas facility.
Myself and all of my work
colleagues are having to keep
all doors and windows closed
on these warm Summer
days to attempt to keep the
atrocious smell out.
How long will we have to put
up with this dreadful smell?
Hopefully not too much
longer!

Agnew Community Centre had its summer brightened up thanks
to local businesses generously giving the facility a lick of bright
paint. Mears who repair and maintain homes on behalf of livin
and local firm Kerrison spent a week transforming the tired
looking centre, reaching high ceilings which had previously
gone unpainted for many years due to health and safety.
Vibrant colours were chosen for each of the rooms which
has been a real hit with the children. Agnew is a cornerstone
of the local community, providing a day nursery, sports clubs
and a youth club to name a few. The centre can now offer one
of its rooms as a meeting room following the makeover with
businesses already showing an interest in using it.
Colin Middlemass, MD, Mears said: “It’s great to see the impact
of this project, we are committed to supporting the communities
in which we work, we are delighted the children are happy.”
Ron Mitchie, Centre Manager, Agnew Centre said ‘All the
operatives were very efficient, helpful, interacted well around
the centre and did a first class job. A big thank you to everyone
who was involved in the transformation.’

Summer Activity at New Blood Donors Aycliffe Designer Impresses
Greenfield Arts Wanted In Aycliffe Ceramic Suppliers to Royalty
We have had a fantastic summer of activity here at Greenfield
Arts, with workshops, events and activities for young people
and families to enjoy.
Our last week was filled with Arts and Science, experimenting
with Heat, Light and Water to make our own puffy paint, heat
transfer printed pillows, Sun prints, stained glass windows,
light pictures and tie-dye. We have had a great week, and
all those who participated have enjoyed experimenting with
different techniques – learning about science along the way!
We would like to say a huge thank you to all the artists and
workshop leaders who joined us for the summer programme
and to all the young people and families who came and
enjoyed the sessions with us!
Continuing from this success we have been busy planning a
range of activities for Family Learning Month in October, and
more “Out of the Bag” sessions in November and December,
working with local community centres to put together a
programme of activity for families across Aycliffe.
The programme includes a film festival, a free live
performance, a Big Draw competition and some great fun
days during October half term, most activities are free, this
is a great opportunity for families to be creative together! To
see the full programme visit our website www.greenfield-arts.
co.uk, or pick up a leaflet from Greenfield Arts.
In September, as the summer
holidays end, children head
back to school and people
return to work. NHS Blood
and Transplant is urging
people in the local area to
make sure giving blood is
part of their routine.
Blood is always required
with hospitals in England
and North Wales needing
around 7,000 units of blood
every day to treat patients
for a range of reasons. It
is used in accidents and
emergencies but also during
surgery and treatment for
cancer and blood diseases,
like leukaemia. Please book
your appointment now and
get the date in your diary to
help others.
It is important that vital blood
stocks are maintained at all
times, as red blood cells have
a shelf life of just 35 days
and platelets a shelf life of
only 7 days. NHS Blood and
Transplant needs to collect
enough blood in the right
quantities to meet patient
needs and regular donors are
crucial. Donna Batty,
Lead
Donor
Relations
Manager said: “It would be
great to see people heading
back to blood donor sessions
as part of their normal
routine. “We are grateful
to those donors who gave
blood over the summer. We
appreciate not everybody
was able to do so, as they
may have been busy enjoying

Cleveland College of Art &
Design mature student Sharron
Bates, from Newton aycliffe
may get the opportunity to
serve up her creative talents
before members of the royal
household or even world
leaders after her work was
snapped up by American
ceramic company Fitz and
Floyd.
For over 50 years, Fitz and
Floyd, based in Dallas, Texas,
has been the undisputed leader
in the design and manufacture
of hand-painted ceramics
and tableware, providing tea
services for the Queen and
Presidential dinnerware for The
White House.
Sharron 42, who sold her
designs at the Surtex Trade
Show in New York, in May,
said: “I was absolutely
overwhelmed when I found
that Fitz and Floyd had bought
two of my drawings.
“I did a little bit of research on
the internet and was amazed
that they supplied ceramic ware
to Buckingham Palace and
The White House – especially
when the inspiration for one of
the drawings came from three
broken plates that I bought
from a Hartlepool Flea Market.
Sharron’s chinoiserie designs
were among work from 40
other students at CCAD who
travelled to New York to
Hair Salon Encourages
Young People
Trimmers Hair Salon at Bishop
Auckland are holding an event
for staff and guests designed
to encourage apprenticeships
and those interested in their
personal development.
Three inspirational speakers
will talk on issues affecting
modern Britain including
communication skills and the
effect of smart phones, Ipads
and social media are having
on our lives.
The session from 11am - 2pm
will also raise awareness on
the necessity for training,
learning basic skills, health,
deportment and the ability to
make polite conversation with
strangers. All these attributes
will help young people win
jobs,
business
contacts,
University places, and above
all gain confidence.
These life skill programmes
are used by Trimmers Salon
when training apprentices.
They also cover holistic
treatment, how to deal with
anxiety, headaches, mood
swings etc., rather than
resorting to medication and
alcohol.
A study of the science of
colour
co-ordination
is
also important in the Salon
which can save time and
money when choosing your
wardrobe. Anyone interested
in attending the session should
contact Jean on 01388 602001
or 602087.
Sharron Bates (left) with tutor Lianne Hubbart, and some
of her textile and surface designs
exhibit at the trade show.
The college was the only
non business organisation to
showcase its surface and textile
designs at the Jacob Javits
Centre, on 34th Street, over
three days.
“Selling my first work as a
designer to a major company
was a pivotal moment for
me,” said Sharron, who has an
11-year-old son. It felt like the
beginning of a journey I should
have taken a long time ago. I
always wanted to do art but
was told at school that it wasn’t
a proper job.
“I trained for a career working
with children with special
needs, which has been very
rewarding, but I always felt that
there was something missing.”
Diagnosed with MS at 36,
Sharron decided to take up
her lifelong desire to become
an artist and after taking
local classes in painting and
watercolours she signed up to
do her BA textiles and surface
design degree at CCAD.

“Sharon’s drawing content has
a lot of commercial potential
for companies like Fitz and

Good GCSE Results
for County Students
Students
across
County
Durham have bucked the
national trend with yet
another improvement in
GCSE results.
The pass rate in the county has
increased for the 11th year in
a row, while early indications
show that nationally the rate
has fallen.
62.7 per cent of pupils
achieved five or more A* to C
grades, including English and
maths, in comparison to 62
per cent last year. Particularly
noteworthy, is the fact that 70
per cent of pupils have gained
good grades in mathematics.
Twenty-two of the county’s
33 secondary schools have at
least 60 % of pupils gaining
five or more A* to C grades,
including English and maths,
with 14 schools having at least
70 % of pupils achieving this
standard.
And in the east of the county,
pupils performed particularly
C
O
M
well with an average of 67
per cent of students gaining
five or more A* to C passes,
including English and maths.
This is in comparison to a
national average last year of
59 per cent of pupils.
Cllr Ossie Johnson, Cabinet
member for Children and
Young People’s Services,
said: “We are delighted that
we have once again seen an
increase in the number of
pupils gaining top results
at GCSE level.This year, it
means hundreds more students
have the qualifications to
progress to further education.
“This is a very positive
result and is a testament to
the effort and determination
of pupils, staff, parents and
governors across County
Durham. We are very proud
of the achievement of all
of our young people. “We
congratulate them and wish
them well for the future.”

Aycliffe Designer’s Print Youth Centre Helps
in London Fashion Show Talented Vocalist
A FLEDGLING designer’s
passion for fashion has seen
her take her first steps into
the design world with one of
the world’s leading couture
brands. Aycliffe arts student
Charlotte Jarps is flying high
after seeing her print design
debut for international fashion
house Alexander McQueen.
Following a three month
internship with the iconic label
the Cleveland College student
watched backstage as her twig
skull print was paraded down
the catwalk as part of the
design house’s autumn winter
menswear collection for 2014.
“It was very cool and a
bit surreal to see my work
become part of the Alexander
McQueen collection,” said
Charlotte, who is based at
CCAD’s Hartlepool campus.
“I was backstage at the show,
which was held at a disused
Victorian coal yard behind
Kings Cross Station, and it
was amazing to see all the
models stepping out onto the
cobbles, through swirling
mists of smoke, some of them
wearing my print design.”
The 24-year old, is in her
final year studying textile and
surface design. She hopes to
make a permanent move to
London into a highly sought
after career in fashion.
“Being at Alexander McQueen
has really opened my eyes and
given me the confidence to
believe in myself and what I
am capable of,” said Charlotte.
The world renowned Savile
Row fashion house, founded
in the early 90s by the late
Lee Alexander McQueen, is
now led by creative director
Sarah Burton, who alongside
creating outfits for Michele
Obama and Lady Gaga,
made the dress worn by Kate
Middleton, at her wedding to
Prince William in 2012.
“I never really expecting
anything to come of it,” said
Charlotte. “I’d attached some
pictures of my work and a
Charlotte Jarps,with her Alexander McQueen design
link to my blog and was quite
excited when I got a reply
saying that they had received
my e-mail but then I heard
nothing more.
“I waited a week then e-mailed
again and this time they
replied straight away asking
me to come down to meet with
the menswear team.”
A five minute interview and
a look through Charlotte’s
portfolio was enough to
convince the people at
Alexander McQueen to offer
her a three month internship.
“I was so shocked,” said
Charlotte. “It was an incredible
opportunity but I still had three
months to go until the end of
my college year and didn’t
think I would be able to accept
but my tutors at CCAD were
so understanding and sorted
out an extension to my project
deadline so that I could go to
London.
“I’ve always been a fan of
McQueen but I didn’t know
much about their menswear
line. I’ve always done prints
for women so it was really
exciting to be able to do
something different.
“They really threw me in at
the deep end, doing a lot of
drawing and converting it into
prints. The biggest thing I had
to adjust to was designing
to someone else’s vision

Dear Sir
I think you wasted your time printing the article regarding Ron
Hogg’s comments on cyclists using public footpaths. Not for
the first time, I felt intimidated enough to step off the public
footpath in West Park to let a snaking convoy of 20+ adults on
bicycles go past.
I believe this is an activity arranged from the PCP Centre. I
emailed them some months ago to make them aware of the law
regarding cyclists on footpaths but like your article, I think it’s
just been ignored. I have video footage showing this blatant
organised law breaking.
Jeremy Crawforth
Reply on behalf of Cyclists
“County
Durham
and
Darlington NHS Foundation
Trust’s Get Active team has
been delivering the cycling
project in Newton Aycliffe for
over four years.
The project has encouraged
over 300 members of the
public to take part in and enjoy
the health benefits of cycling.
We have successful links
with healthcare professionals
who refer directly into the
programme, in order to
support the rehabilitation of
patients with a wide variety of
medical conditions.
Our local partner, the
Pioneering Care Partnership,
has trained ten qualified
marshals to support the
delivery of the group, which
has allowed the group to
become independent and
deliver three sessions each
week.
All routes that the group cycle
have been risk assessed prior
to use, with 80% of the rides
taking place on the Aycliffe
Way, which has dual cycling
and walking use.
We have a communication
policy in all the groups to
ensure all cyclists and other
network users are aware of
each other’s presence, and
will remind cyclists of their
obligation to use roadways.”
Trust Spokesperson
and the team were absolute
perfectionists in what they
expected.
“I must have drawn the same
thing over and over, at least
20 times, but that’s why they
are the best and I was amazed
when they chose one of my
prints for a T-shirt design and
they also used it scaled down
in the material for one of their
suits.
“Sarah Burton was backstage.
and she gave me a McQueen
scarf before I left and invited
to stay on as an intern, and
believe me if I could have I
would, but it’s a great accolade
to have on my CV. I love the
fact that going to CCAD
helped me to see the really
exciting career opportunities
available out there”. For more

Great Aycliffe Show
Despite a very gloomy
weather forecast for the
Saturday, the really Great
Aycliffe Show lived up to its
name once again this year,
with breath-taking shows of
freestyle motocross featuring
Bold Dog Lings, lots of
duck antics with Drakes of
Hazard, fast action packed
lurcher racing and speedy,
graceful flying displays by
Ridgeside birds of prey.
The sun shone brightly on
Sunday and visitors from
Aycliffe and beyond enjoyed
a great day of mostly free
entertainment.
The community really came
together this year with over
800 entries into the handcraft
and horticulture exhibition
of intricate crochet and
embroidery, painting and
photography,
mouthwatering home produce and
astonishingly long leeks,
carrots and, of course,
beautiful flowers that were a
credit to the gardeners. The
knitting judge told us that
she really had to search for
any minor faults, so that she
could find the winners. Deco
Trophies and Engraving
and Gregg Little Testing
Centre
continued
their
sponsorship of the Handcraft
and Horticulture Exhibition.
There were increased entries
in the Pigeon Show with 150
entries, and the new Poultry
Show attracted almost 500
entries, and much interest
from visitors to the Show.
The Environment marquee
was a huge success with all
ages; amongst all things
environmental was Krafty
Kritters who had brought a
range of creatures for display
including a boa snake,
tortoises and hamsters.
Aycliffe Dance Academy
and KDANZ were two
of the dance troupes who
performed in the playhouse
marquee
along
with
professional artistes 4th
Dimension and Martyn
James, with enthusiastic
support from the audience.
Other local acts performing
were Ruby Arnold, Lost in
the Crowd, Rebecca Harcus
and Professor Nincompoop.
The football tournament,
sponsored by Cooperative
Funeralcare,
was
fully
supported agin this year
with the under 9’s being an
‘all Bishop Auckland’ Final
with Kings beating Aces
on Penalties. In the under
10 Final Redby CA from
Sunderland beat Newcastle
City Juniors 3-0.
The Golf Tournament was
sponsored by Bewick and
Neville Pharmacies. Bryan
Bovil thanked the Council
for staging the Tournament
and Bewick and Neville
Pharmacies
for
their
sponsorship when he was
presented with his trophy for
golf.
There was a touch of
nostalgia in the air, with
Vintage Vehicles proving
to be a big attraction - a
state trooper vehicle and a
vintage caravan were great
photograph
opportunities,
along with a variety of
beautiful old saloons.
Local
organisations
including Greenfield Arts,
One Point and Newton
Aycliffe Youth Centre all had
interactive stands that were
very popular with the crowds
eager to ‘have a go’.
The Town Council would
like to thank all those who
took part in the Show,
whether it was to staff a
stand or enter one of the
many competitions, and
particularly the sponsors,
Aycliffe
Caravans,
Cooperative
Funeralcare,
Deco
Trophies
and
Engraving, Newton Press,
Gregg
Little
Testing
Centre, Neville and Bewick
Pharmacies and SS Seeds,
the Show would not be
possible if it was not for your
support.

So come on register NOW,
you would be barking mad to

Inexperience (86%) and
overconfidence (86%) are the
main reasons that new drivers
are the riskiest group of road
users, according to the latest
poll from road safety charity
IAM (Institute of Advanced
Motorists).
Respondents
also rated peer pressure
(67%), immaturity (52%)
and shortfalls in the learning
process (45%) as being
important risk factors.
Sixty-eight per cent of
respondents lack faith in the
current driving test as being
an adequate system to produce
safe drivers. There is a high
degree of dissatisfaction
with the current system for
learning to drive. When asked
to rate how well new drivers
are taught using a scale of
one to ten (1 being poor, 10
being ideal), half (57%) of
respondents rated it as a 5 or
below.
When asked about the idea of
a minimum learning period,
respondents’ opinion is split.
Thirty-one per cent believe
it should be six months with
thirty per cent believing it
should be at least a year.
Poll results showed support
for restrictions such as stricter
drink-drive limits for younger
drivers. Forty-nine per cent of
respondents believe that the
drink-drive limit should be
lower for younger drivers.
When it comes to the number
of passengers younger drivers
can carry, seventy-one per
cent support restrictions on
the in the first few months
after passing the practical test.
Attitudes were more divided
on night time curfews with
forty-seven per cent support a
nightime curfew while fortyfive per cent do not want to
see any curfew enforced for
young people.
IAM chief executive Simon
Best said: “Our survey has
shown that sixty-nine per
cent of motorists lack faith
in the current system which
marks a clear need to review
the learning process. It is clear
that motorists want to see
more restrictions on younger
drivers, but this will not
solve the issue alone. There
needs to be a lifelong learning
approach to driving that
starts at school and continues
through
experience
and
coaching into the higher risk
early days of solo driving. The
more experience of driving
that young people get the safer
they will be in the long run.”

Newton Aycliffe Cricket Club’s
1st team team sponsored by
Lift Right Fork Lift Training
had an excellent six wicket
win at home to 4th placed
Billingham Synthonia 2nd XI
to consolidate their place at the
top of the NYSD 3rd division.
The visitors elected to bat first
and found Aycliffe fast bowler
Michael Howe in terrific form
as he blasted out the top four
batsmen for just 18 runs in his
opening 7 over spell.
Left arm spinner Luke Telford
carried on the good work,
finishing off their innings with
the superb figures of 5 wickets
for only 9 runs as Billingham
were bowled out for just 86
after 26.4 overs.
Opening batsman Luke Telford
got Aycliffe off to a steady start
with 20 runs, but the homeside
lost 4 quick wickets to leave
them stuttering at 47 for 4.
However a timely unbroken
5th wicket partnership of 41
between Adam Gittins (27
not out) and Sean Morgan (10
not out) saw Aycliffe to an
ultimately comfortable victory
after 28.3 overs.
There are now only 3 games
remaining as Aycliffe seek to
achieve the noteable feat of
not only gaining promotion in
their inaugural season in the
NYSD, but possibily winning
the divisional title as well.

Avoid a Crash for Cash Scam
Builders
K. HARRISON BUILDER
Extensions - Garage Conversions

Crash for cash scams are
staged collisions. The one to
watch for is when someone
deliberately flashes you to
dupe you into thinking they
are giving way and then
driving into the side of your
vehicle.
This makes it very difficult
for the other driver to prove
that they were given way to
turn into the road, and allows

the other party to make an
exaggerated insurance claim.
How to avoid them:
• Always look ahead and
anticipate hazards, so you
aren’t “cornered” into a crash
you can’t avoid.
• If someone flashes you to
invite you out of a junction,
thank them but don’t go wait until the road is clear for
you to progress.
If you are involved in one,
remember:
• If you’re suspicious, don’t
ask them directly about it at
the scene but keep careful
notes.
• Try to take photos of the
damage to all vehicles,
discreetly if possible.
• Get a description of the
driver and count the number
of people in the other vehicle.
Take photos, discreetly if
possible, of all the people in
the vehicle.
• If you need the emergency
services, call 999, and if
you are suspicious about the
incident, tell the police when
you ring.
• Stay calm. You’ll need
to swap details with other
drivers whatever happens.
IAM chief examiner Peter
Rodger said: “Flash for cash
scams are costing millions of
pounds through our insurance
premiums, and some are so
reckless that they risk lives.
Collisions are stressful and
emotionally draining, but
it’s important to be prepared
in case you are involved in
one.”
“Make sure you drive
carefully to minimise your
chances of having to deal
with a collision.”

Telephone Scammers
Targeting Elderly People
Dear Sir,
A scam is being used over the
phone by persons of Asian
origin whereby they ring and
say a payment had been taken
out of the bank. In my case
at 11 o clock on Saturday
morning and the sum was
£49 which was to cover
the cost of making sure all
unwanted trash calls would
be excluded from my phone.

Being a 72 year old lady who
is fully aware of scammers
targeting older people, I
faced up to this person asking
them to produce my bank
details.. This he refused to do
and asked me, to give details
about the said contract.
The conversation was very
heated and his manner
was very intimidating and
bullying.
I put the phone down and
checked my bank details
which were intact. When I
rang 1471 to find out who had
called the number 001100
came up which I passed on
to Aycliffe Police. They
put me through to the fraud
department where I made a
statement and this is now in
the hands of Metropolitan
Police to investigate.
I am targeted sometimes up
to 3-4 times a day by Asian
speaking people, saying they
are doing research for Life
Style direct and do I have
few minutes to help them. I
constantly tell them I do not
give any details about my
life to anyone via the phone
and ask them politely to stop
ringing me. I believe these
are the same people as I
have rung 1471 and a similar
number comes up.
Please tell your elderly
readers not to give details
over the phone about their
bank details and lifestyle. I
would be interested to know
if anyone else has been
targeted and had any of these
troublesome calls lately.
If so they may ring me so
that I can forward any more
information on to the Police
fraud line reference number
that was given to me.

The object of the discussion
is to provide in detail, what
exactly the Council does
currently, with regard to
maintaining and cleaning
the Lakes specifically in
the control of weed and
algae
growth,
together
with examining any other
possibilities
that can be
undertaken to alleviate the
problem. This may mean a
further report with costings
on options, to be examined at
a future meeting.
There is no doubt the lakes
are an eyesore and spoil
what should be an atttractive
feature of Newton Aycliffe
and a local amenity we
should enjoy.
Residents
who
have
expressed concerns on this
issue, and want to see more
done, may want to attend
and ask questions on the 4th
September, in support of their
Ward Councillors efforts, at
the public participation part
of the meeting. All you do
is ring the Town Clerk on
300700 to let him know you
wish to speak. At the point
in the meeting for public
questions you will be able to
express your views.

Huge FA Cup Tie at
Moore Lane Park
Newton Aycliffe face arguably the biggest game in the club’s
history this weekend, as they host local rivals Spennymoor Town
in the world famous FA Cup.
Allan Oliver’s high-flying Royal Blues welcome the reigning FA
Vase winners to Moore Lane Park on Saturday August 31st, with
kick off at 3pm.
The winner will progress to the first qualifying round of the
oldest knockout competition in football - a stage the Newtonians
have never reached.
A first FA Cup victory was achieved in the extra preliminary
round, when Aycliffe putt five past Darlington Railway Athletic.
But they face a much tougher test to record back-to-back
successes against Spennymoor, the side who have won three of
the last four Northern League titles.
Moors’ expensively-assembled side will start as heavy favourites
on Saturday - they have never lost to the Newtonians in any
competition - but FA Cup history is littered with upsets.
Aycliffe warmed up for the contest with a hard-fought goalless
draw against Bishop Auckland on Bank Holiday Monday. Fred
Woodhouse was sent-off just before the hour mark, but heroic
displays from John Close and Stephen Salvin kept the Two Blues
out for the remaining 30 minutes to earn a point that moved
Aycliffe up to seventh in Division One.
The duo will have to be at their best again to repel Moors, while
Oliver will hope strikers Danny Earl and Jamie Owens continue
their blistering start to the campaign and fire Aycliffe into the
hat for the next round. Admission is £6 for adults and £4 for
conessions, with under-12s FREE.

Body Tone - Top Class! Rugby Club Ease to
Dear Sir,
Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre has received some bad press of
late, however I found my experience quite different.
I saw the advertisement for Body Tone on Monday - Wednesday
for only £2 a session. As other classes cost a fair bit more I gave
it a try and Shelley the instructor was lovely, very friendly and
helpful.
There were no hard dance moves to learn just easy explained
exercises, but I knew I had been to a fitness class the next day!
However I felt good in myself.
I know this was an introductory price and it will go up at the
end of August, but I still plan to carry on going.
Hopefully they will offer more classes at cut-prices, but hurry
and get your place before they get to full.

Sports Club 11-0 Victory
Jarrovians 3 Newton Aycliffe 44
Newton Aycliffe Rugby
Club
began
their
competitive matches with a
straightforward victory in the
Durham County Plate. The
bank holiday meant that both
teams were missing players,
but Aycliffe were still able
to field one of their strongest
back lines in recent years,
with Chris Richards returning
at scrum half, having missed
the whole of last season
on duty with the Forces in
Afghanistan.
The early exchanges saw
Aycliffe playing into the
hands of the home side’s big
forwards and over-elaborating
when opportunities arose.
but they took the lead when
Jarrovians attempt to fling the
ball wide was intercepted by
Trevor Ward who ran the ball
back to within 10 metres of the
line before giving the ball to
Luke Tinkler who scored the
try. Jarrovians replied with a
penalty kick but Tinkler soon
returned the favour.
Sam Daltry, playing at hooker
for the first time, was in fine
form but the Aycliffe forwards
continued to make hard work
of the game.
Daylight finally began to
appear between the teams
when David Judge made a
break through the defence,
beating numerous players
before being tackling just
short of the line, but Tinkler
was again on hand to score.
Tinkler’s conversion was the
last score of the half and the
HOOVER
1400 SPIN
two sides turned round with
the score 3 – 15.
Early in the second half, the
Aycliffe lead was extended
after
Warren
Parsonage
returned a clearance kick and
released Richards with an
excellent offload. Richards
did the rest.
Jarrovians
continued
to
battle hard, but the greater
pace in the Aycliffe team
saw them stretched to the
limit and Aycliffe soon found
themselves with an overlap;
Deryk Cairns scoring.
Judge added a further try
with a try from his own half
and Jeff Hodgson powered
over from a tap penalty. The
final score came when Craig
Holmes broke clear from
the back of a ruck, and, as
he tired, Michael Dunn was
able to complete the score.
Tinkler added a further two
conversions to give a final
score of 44 – 3.
Despite the scoreline, Aycliffe
were not completely satisfied
as they did not play to their
strengths in the first half and,
against stronger opposition
that could prove fatal.
Aycliffe play at Northallerton
on the evening of Friday 30th
August before beginning
their league campaign against
promotion candidates South
Tyneside College at Moore
Lane on 14th September.

The second away game of the
season saw NASCFC pitched
against the Green Dragon from
Darlington. After a slow start
NASCFC eventually took the
lead after 15 minutes, with
Anth Campbell powering
through and hitting a sweet
left foot drive into the bottom
corner. This was followed by
an own goal by The Green
Dragon after pressure from a
cross from the left hand side. A
third goal came from top scorer
Chris Jones which rounded off
the first half.
The second half saw NASCFC
start brightly with Damien Jose
scoring the 4th of the game.

then Chris Jones got his second
on the hour mark to make it
